The one-day graph of XRP showed an unchanged downtrend that resulted in the price dropping from $0.515 to $0.319. The long-term support has been holding at $0.259.
The Parabolic SAR was above the price candles, a pattern consistent for an extended period of time now. The markers holding above the candles meant that XRP was going through a bearish atmosphere.
The MACD indicator moved as a conjoined pair on the axis. The MACD histogram was almost non-existent due to a bearish clamp.
The Relative Strength Index was in the middle of the graph, a sign of equilibrium between the selling pressure and the buying pressure.

Stellar Lumens’ one-day chart displayed a similar atmosphere as that of the XRP chart, with the downtrend causing the price to fall from $0.277 to $0.11.
The Chaikin Money Flow indicator was above the zero-line, which meant that capital coming into the market was much more than the capital leaving the market.
The Awesome Oscillator had increased in amplitude, which was a sign of increased XLM market momentum.
The Bollinger Bands saw the upper band and the lower band moving in a parallel fashion due to sideways price movement. The size of the Bollinger cloud also reduced after a lack of price outbreaks.
Conclusion:
The above-mentioned indicators stated that XRP and XLM were both under the bear’s thumb as shown by the decreased market momentum and buying pressure.
